Dorsky Museum on Instagram
One of the best reasons to follow the Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art on Instagram is their Friday Finds series. Museum staff (including many students) select a single piece from The Dorsky's Permanent Collection and post it with a short blurb about the works, the artists, and how they fit into broader historical and cultural contexts.
Last week we got a feature on Ukrainian-born American artist Eugene Ludins, courtesy of Intern Clara Pierson ‘22 (Art History). Follow @dorskymuseum to see what comes next!
